Well you have to be a little bit more clear on this. Did he just say he likes her or did he say he likes her and has or is going to date her? Plus how long did you date the girl in question?SirDeadly said:So today my best friend tells me that he likes my ex(who I still love more than anything, It's been 3 weeks since we broke up) and expects me to be ok with it. He then goes off at me for being angry at him. Do you guys think it's ok to date a friends ex or do you think it's a no go zone?
EDIT: Yes/No option didn't work properly....
I usually assign a 1/3 rule to things like this. Take the time you dated, divide it by three, that's the 'If you ain't over it by now, get over yourself' period at which point she is fair game.SirDeadly said:She's not super hot but she is the nicest person I know. I went out with her for a year and I know that it was something real, not "how I love my xbox".
He said he wants to go out with her. I dated her for a year.gbemery said:Well you have to be a little bit more clear on this.

Well if it helps, I'd be pissedSirDeadly said:Oh I'm angry alright, I just wanted your opinion if he was doing the wrong thing or not.MirrorSweep said:If you need our advice on whether on not to be angry..whats the point?
We? OMFG U HIM! OLOLOL! (joking) But seriously I agree, 3 weeks is awhile and how would you feel if you where in his shoes?blank0000 said:we waited a respectable 3 weeks. Your anger is understandable, but try to be a little more understanding, what if you where him?
If you dumped her it'd be fine. However it appears you didn't want to so therefore you mate should wait a fair long while; especially if their going out means you'd see her much more often. Although once you yourself get another relationship he has no reason to feel guilty and I don't see why he can't go for her.SirDeadly said:So today my best friend tells me that he likes my ex(who I still love more than anything, It's been 3 weeks since we broke up) and expects me to be ok with it.

I'm afraid I have to disagree it seems to me that, aside from big things like living on your own and having to take care of yourself, not much changes between sixteen and twenty. Least of all love.Evil Jak said:EVERYTHING changes when you are 2 decades old... Also, I know that having thought I was in love and now knowing that I have in fact never actually been in love.
I totally agree with you.Dopi said:In the end, it's up to your ex. Although your mate is a douche for trying to make a move on her so soon.
